Four key points for selecting fabrics for special protective clothing
The selection of fabric is the foundation of a special protective work suit, fundamentally determining the quality and protective performance of the protective work suit. As the last line of protection against external harmful factors on the human body, the selection of special functional fabrics is of utmost importance in customizing work clothes. What aspects should be emphasized in the selection of work clothes fabrics for special protective clothing?
Firstly, the selection of auxiliary materials for special protective work clothes should strive to meet the basic safety protection performance of industry clothing, reduce the potential damage and impact of environmental factors and work nature on the human body. Different work environments have different performance requirements for the protection and safety of workwear fabrics. For example, in flammable and explosive work environments, workwear fabrics should have flame retardant and anti-static properties; The high-temperature environment for moisture absorption and ventilation must be insulated and resistant to high temperatures; Chemical pollution environment must be resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and resistant to oil; Electrical clothing that frequently engages in field work should have flame-retardant and arc resistant fabrics, as well as reflective accessories to ensure safety;
Secondly, customized special protective work clothes for enterprises should provide employees with the greatest physiological comfort, especially for frontline workers in the petrochemical, metallurgical, metal processing, mechanical welding and other industries. Due to the high labor intensity and long working hours, the physiological comfort requirements for clothes are much higher than ordinary work clothes. When selecting clothing fabrics, attention should be paid to moisture absorption, breathability, and softness The impact of elasticity and other performance indicators on the human body, choose fabrics with moisture absorption, sweat wicking, and quick drying functions.
Once again, the customization of special protective work clothes should also pay attention to the environmental friendliness of the fabric. The direct impact of clothing on human skin contact and its impact on human health can be imagined. In the process of making clothes from fabric fibers to finished garments, there are only 22 carcinogenic aromatic amine intermediates involved in dyes, and more than 100 corresponding dye additives, fire retardants, coatings, etc., as well as more than 10 heavy metals.
Finally, the cost-effectiveness of purchasing special protective work clothes is undoubtedly a concern for enterprises. Purchasing personnel should not simply judge the cost-effectiveness of protective clothing based on price. Taking flame-retardant fabrics as an example, in terms of price alone, essential flame-retardant fabric work clothes are generally 3-5 times the market price of post-treatment flame-retardant fabric work clothes. However, it should be noted that the protective performance of essential flame-retardant fabrics is greatly better than that of post-treatment flame-retardant fabrics, and their wearing life is more than 5 times the life of post-treatment flame-retardant fabric work clothes. Therefore, the selection of protective clothing fabrics for high-risk flammable and explosive work environments should use intrinsic flame retardant fabrics, which have higher protective performance and can effectively prevent or reduce the occurrence of work-related accidents and occupational diseases
